'''Carver''' (''Hassan'' in the original Japanese) is a playable character found in ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''.  He is the first to join the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|hero]], and the two of them work together to capture a horse, which is then used to pull the party's cart.
'''Carver''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a playable {{Party 6}} member in {{Dragon Quest VI}}.


==Appearance and Personality==
He is a travelling [[Martial Artist]] and the first to join the {{Hero 6}} on his quest. The two of them work together as a part of the [[Somnia (Upper World)|Somnian military]] in the war against [[Murdaw]] before discovering the mystery of the [[Lower World|Lower]] and [[Upper World]]s.
Carver is a mountain of a man, towering over most characters. He wears a grey open vest along with a turquoise-colored pair of shorts, and an orange sash lengthened by a piece of rope. Over his shorts, he wears a light-green mawashi, a type of loincloth similar to the ones worn by sumo wrestlers in real life. He also wears black shoes with a pair of light-green socks. Coupled with his purple mohawk, Carver's appearance is among the most distinct in the game.


Despite his intimidating build, Carver is a kind and friendly man, and starts a friendship with the [[ Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|Hero]] soon after they meet. Almost always jovial, Carver does his best to stay positive in darker moments, and tries to keep the mood light with a quick joke or a pun. A bit of a braggart, Carver thinks highly of himself and isn't afraid to accept any praises from villagers for the group's good deeds.

Over his shorts, he wears a light-green mawashi, a type of loincloth similar to those worn by sumo wrestlers in real life. He also wears black shoes with a pair of light-green socks. He is noticeably more tan than the rest of the characters. Coupled with his purple mohawk, Carver's appearance is among the most distinct in the game.

Almost always jovial, Carver does his best to stay positive in darker moments, and tries to keep the mood light with a quick joke or a pun.

{{spoiler|start}}
{{clear}}
Carver appears in the cold opening alongside the Hero and Milly. Their assault on Murdaw ends in disaster when the leathery wizard turns them to stone, resulting in the Hero falling out of bed and awakening from a nightmare.  


The Hero next encounters Carver in [[Somnia]] after bumping into him and again during the initiation trial at [[Guardsbane Tower]]. Carver wishes the Hero good luck and hopes the best man wins, which is noticed by the test supervisors as the kind of cooperation the Somnian military is looking for. Newly pressed into service, Carver and the Hero are first sent to investigate rumors of a ferocious mustang menacing the countryside, which results in the duo gaining ownership of Peggy Sue and the castle's finest [[wagon]]. The duo's next assignment has them search for any clues as to the location of [[Ra's Mirror]]: the journey gives insight into Carver's excellent carpentry skill, and results in a reunion with Milly in a [[Lower World]].

{{spoiler|start}}Carver appears in the cold opening alongside the {{Hero 6}} and [[Milly]]. Their assault on Murdaw ends in disaster when the leathery wizard turns them to stone, resulting in the Hero falling out of bed and awakening from a nightmare.  


After a lengthy discourse with madam Luca Luminesta, joining with [[Ashlynn]], fighting fake Murdaw, and getting ownership of a legendary vessel through the help of [[Nevan]], Carver joins the Hero in the second siege of [[Murdaw's Keep]]. In the castle proper Carver discovers a statue of his exact likeness, and upon touching it fuses with the stone--his original body Murdaw stripped from him in the game's opening. Realizing that "he" was the idealized version of himself, Carver comes to terms with the reality of the situation and his past as the runaway son of a master craftsman who dreamed of becoming a legendary martial artist. Carver's inner fire burns brighter after becoming whole, and learns [[Knuckle Sandwich]].

Carver appears as one of the special guests at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This could be downloaded through the [[DQVC]] using Nintendo's Wi-Fi channel when it was still available. When spoken to, he will give the hero different pieces of his outfit is certain conditions are fulfilled. A special [[Accolade]] is earned if the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|Hero]] wears all of the parts of Carver's costume. However, it is only possible for a male Hero to earn this Accolade as certain parts of Carver's costume are male-only.

"My cockles are pretty toasty, too. Wait, what are cockles again?"

—Carver, in Port Haven (DS, Cell phone)

Carver is a character in the Dragon Quest series that appears as a playable party member in Dragon Quest VI.

He is a travelling Martial Artist and the first to join the Hero on his quest. The two of them work together as a part of the Somnian military in the war against Murdaw before discovering the mystery of the Lower and Upper Worlds.

Appearance and personality[edit]

Carver is a mountain of a man, towering over most characters. He wears a grey open vest along with a turquoise-colored pair of shorts, and an orange sash lengthened by a piece of rope. Over his shorts, he wears a light-green mawashi, a type of loincloth similar to those worn by sumo wrestlers in real life. He also wears black shoes with a pair of light-green socks. He is noticeably more tan than the rest of the characters. Coupled with his purple mohawk, Carver's appearance is among the most distinct in the game.

Despite his intimidating build, Carver is a kind and friendly man, and starts a friendship with the Hero soon after they meet. Almost always jovial, Carver does his best to stay positive in darker moments, and tries to keep the mood light with a quick joke or a pun. A bit of a braggart, Carver thinks highly of himself and isn't afraid to accept any praises from villagers for the group's good deeds.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]

Warning: Spoilers!
Click expand to view content
Carver appears in the cold opening alongside the Hero and Milly. Their assault on Murdaw ends in disaster when the leathery wizard turns them to stone, resulting in the Hero falling out of bed and awakening from a nightmare.

The Hero next encounters Carver in Somnia after bumping into him and again during the initiation trial at Gardsbane Tower. Carver wishes the Hero good luck and hopes the best man wins, which is noticed by the test supervisors as the kind of cooperation the Somnian military is looking for. Newly pressed into service, Carver and the Hero are first sent to investigate rumors of a ferocious mustang menacing the countryside, which results in the duo gaining ownership of Peggy Sue and the castle's finest Wagon. The duo's next assignment has them search for any clues as to the location of Ra's Mirror: the journey gives insight into Carver's excellent carpentry skill, and results in a reunion with Milly in a Lower World.

After a lengthy discourse with Madame Luca Luminesta, joining with Ashlynn, fighting fake Murdaw, and getting ownership of a legendary vessel through the help of Nevan, Carver joins the Hero in the second siege of Murdaw's Keep. In the castle Carver discovers a statue of his exact likeness, and upon touching it fuses with the stone--his original body Murdaw stripped from him in the game's opening. Realizing that "he" was the idealized version of himself, Carver comes to terms with the reality of the situation and his past as the runaway son of a master craftsman who dreamed of becoming a legendary martial artist. Carver's inner fire burns brighter after becoming whole, and learns Knuckle Sandwich.

During the ending sequence, Carver returns to his family in Port Haven to continue his father's carpentry business.

"Ha ha ha!"
